paulandheidi New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 5:14 pm I'm still learning. Here are some more coins I have found and I just can't seem to figure out how to identify them. I have several more, but I'll just upload a few coins at a time. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 6:09 pm Well, I'll get the ball rolling. Number one is a Herodian Dynasty prutah. Number four is a prutah issued under the Roman procurator Antonius Felix, 52 - 59 AD. Report this Post to the Staff
paulandheidi New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 6:14 pm Thanks so much..How do you figure them out. I don't read hebrew and I can't figure how to examine each coin. I have a hendin book, but I'm having hard time matching the coins. The pictures of his coins are very good and the coins I have seem to lacking in detail Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 6:18 pm It's just a matter of getting used to using Hendin. You can also use online sources. For example acsearch.info...here's one similar your Antonius Felix: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=377147 (Your reverse pic is upside-down) Btw, number three is a Hasmonean Dynasty prutah.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 6:31 pm The third coin is the oldest and is from the Hasmodian dynasty and appears to be Alexander Jannaeus, Hendin 1144. Coin 1 is Herod the Great from the Herodian dynasty. Hendin 1188 or 89. Coin 2 appears to be a mis-struck Widows Mite (Alexander Jannaeus, Hendin 1152? The last one is Antionius Felix, Roman governor under Claudius, reverse is up side down. Coin is dated year 14= 54 AD, Hendin 1347. Report this Post to the Staff
